can movies be transfered to the device and played on tv?

I have tried to play all types of vides formats through my LG TVs and dvd player usb ports but they will cannot recognise any files on this drive. What am I doing wrong here? I have formatted the device, there is no software installed on it. Playback works fine on my laptop and galaxy tab. :-(

Yes, although I never used it. The directions stated that you can play movies from the usb port.

In theory, yes, you could, but I found two problems: only plays files in mp4 format, so you must convert any file to this;and that's the second problem, the conversion takes a loooong time, as a day per file. My advice, avoid this unit like the plague.

Yes. In most cases you'll have no other choice. Whether your device plays the movies, though, is up to the device. The camera lets you save the hi-def videos to the AVI file format and some DVD players will play these, but most play only the XVID AVI format. There's a program called Mov Converter that should let you convert many files to playable DVD formats.

You can most definitely play movies on it, I convert everything into .avi files though and noticed that it cannot take full HD, like the very large resolutions even if I thought it would but the lower ones like 480 it can take. But that wasn't a problem for me, there's a free software online you can reduce the size of the movies with. I haven't tried mp4 but the box says it would play. Good luck!

I hope this isn't a double post since I just responsed to someone else on this thread. I can confirm that you can indeed play videos from your SD card without having to transfer the files over the tablet. And you don't need a third party transfer program. I use the default program...once the transfer program is open, simply selected the card and selected whatever media you want to play. I purchased a 16gb card for my tablet s and have loaded it with movies only, so I cant speak to the ability to play music files...but I would assume the same would apply. Hopefully with ICS just around the corner, it will fix all this. As for the tablet...absolutely love it! I hope this isn't a double post since I just responsed to someone else on this thread.

Yes you lost certainly can but not Blu Ray ones. Only Playstation 3 and 4 does that. And you can do Netflix and Hulu also.

Technically no, but you can export them to a tv at 1080p if you get the docking accessory. Either way, watching a movie on a screen that size will show very little, if any, difference between 720 and 1080.

If you can download it to your computer you should be able to. My concern would be how big the movie file is.

Yes you can, for different formats you might have to download a different video player. But I haven't run into any that can't be played yet

No!This device only plays movies you have on your computer, You transfer movies, Photos and music to a flash dirve and can watch them on your TV or projector. It is not a set top box like Roku. Check out set top boxes for streaming movies and internet channels. Also some DVD players have access to Netflix, check it out.

Yes you may, but playback will only excite if playback or veiwer app used supports the format that movie file was saved in or converted to.
